Channel Four’s strange decision

Channel 4 likes to shock, but their decision that President Ahmadinejad of Iran – a regime that that both locks and beats up trade unionists -was a suitable person for their alternative Christmas broadcast was wrong.

I was the TUC’s Head of Campaigns and Communications until semi-retiring in May 2015, I started at the TUC in 1994.
My interests cover a wide range of communications and politics related issues, but if I have a specialist subject, it's pensions…

I agree with you, Nigel
you may know that the Iranian authorities arrested a bus union leader, Ebrahim Madadi today in Tehran. He is the third person in two weeks that is detained by the secret police.http://www.itfglobal.org/campaigns/freeosanloo.cfm

Surely Channel 4 must report this new wave of oppression towards the independent workers’ movement in Iran!

Also big thanks to the TUC for protesting to these events very shiftly during the holiday season.
